Our Chiropractic Techniques
We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.
The primary adjusting techniques we use include:
Diversified
After identifying which spinal bones have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is administered to free up “stuck” joints... read more»

Motion Palpation

Flexion-Distraction

Spinal Decompression

Spinal Rehabilitation
Spinal Rehabilitation involves a program of specifically designed exercises that the patient is to perform under the guidance of the doctor or his rehab assistant which aid in the restoration of spinal balance, proprioception, biomechanical equilibrium and kinematic fluidity. In a nutshell, spinal rehabilitation helps to restore normal spinal (biomechanical) function.
Electrodiagnosis (EMG)
Electrodiagnosis is an advanced neurological technique used to determine if the patient has nerve damage either centrally (as in radiculopathy, etc) or peripherally (as in carpal tunnel syndrome, etc). It is non painful, takes about 90 minutes to perform and is covered by most group health insurances including Workers' Compensation and Auto Insurance policies.
Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA)
Manipulation Under Anesthesia uses a combination of specific short-lever spinal manipulations, passive stretches and specific articular and postural kinesthetic maneuvers in order to break up fibrous adhesions and scar tissue around the spine and surrounding tissue. The procedure is very safe and is typically utilized on patients with chronic neck and back pain, involves twilight sedation and is performed in a surgery center by licensed chiropractic and osteopathic physicians with specialized training and certification specifically for the procedure. A team approach is required to have a safe and successful outcome.
Nutritional Counseling
Nutritional Counseling is offered to patients who often feel tired, depressed or just "not up to par". Dr. Simon was the first chiropractic physician in Ohio be earn a Diplomate in Nutrition (DACBN) and as such will review your eating habits, daily diet, toxicity levels and supplement intake in order to give you advice on how to be your best by optimizing your nutritional intake.
If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let Dr. Simon know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.
